Chapter 20 A Slap
Soon, they arrived outside the Levine’s house.
“I’m home, Mr. Austin. Thank you for the lunch,” Sephora thanked. Lowell before getting out of the car.
After watching Sephora enter the house, Lowell drove away.
And Bridgette, who was standing by a window on the second floor, saw this scene.
She wondered, “Why did a man send Sephora home? Wait! Why does that man look so much like Lowell?
“But how’s that possible? How could Lowell possibly be interested in Sephora, a country girl? It’s even more impossible for him to send her home! I must be mistaken.”
Bridgette dispelled that unrealistic guess in her heart.
Hearing the footsteps, Bridgette knew it was Sephora coming back, and she quickly opened her door and walked out, blocking Sephora’s
way.
“Who just sent you back?” Bridgette asked directly.
“None of your business. You’d better mind your own, okay?”
Sephora didn’t wanna talk much to Bridgette, but Bridgette wouldn’t just let Sephora go so easily.
“If I’m not mistaken, it was a man! Oh, my dear sister, you’re really
Chapter 20 & Stap
amazing. You hooked up with a man not long after getting here!”
Originally, Sephora didn’t wanna respond to Bridgette, but unexpectedly, Bridgette became more and more excited as she spoke.
Finally, Bridgette’s last sentence triggered Sephora’s anger. The next second, Sephora slapped Bridgette across the face.
Sephora’s movement was so fast that Bridgette didn’t even have time to dodge.
“You bitch! How dare you slap me!” Bridgette cursed.
She raised her hand, wanting to slap Sephora back. But she wasn’t as fast as Sephora. Before she swung her hand down, her wrist was grabbed by Sephora.
“You don’t wanna cross with me.” Sephora stared at Bridgette with chilling eyes, and her grip on Bridgette’s wrist tightened more and
more.
“You… Let go of me.” Bridgette’s voice trembled slightly due to the
pain.
Finally, the loud commotion caught the attention of Christine and the maids downstairs. They hurriedly ran upstairs to see what was going
- on.
“Stop it!”
Christine saw Sephora gripping Bridgette’s wrist as soon as she came up, and she quickly shouted to stop Sephora.
Upon hearing Christine’s voice, Sephora shook off Bridgette’s hand.

Bridgette immediately rubbed her sore wrist and cursed in her heart, “This damn bitch! So fierce!”
“What happened? What’s going on?” Christine asked.
“Mom, Sephora hit me!” Bridgette quickly changed into a pitiful look. and complained to Christine with tears. Her previous arrogance and aggressiveness were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Sephora rolled her eyes and thought, “Drama queen. It’s a pity that Bridgette doesn’t wanna become an actress.”
“What exactly was going on? Why did Sephora suddenly hit you?” Christine asked Bridgette.
“I don’t know. I just saw her walking out of a man’s car. I was just being concerned, afraid that she might be tricked or something. But before I could say anything, she hit me.”
The more Bridgette spoke, the more aggrieved she appeared, and tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
Sephora had kinda gotten used to being framed by Bridgette. She didn’t wanna explain anything, because no matter what she said,
stine would eventually believe Bridgette.
expected, when Christine heard Bridgette’s words, she turned to question Sephora with an angry face, “Was what she said true?”
“I hit her because she said something she should’ve said,” Sephora responded–casually.
But her indifference completely angered Christine.
“You… You’re grounded! From tomorrow on, you’re not allowed to go.
Chapter 20 A Slap
anywhere without my permission!”
“Why?”
“Because I’m your mom!”
Fine. Sephora indeed couldn’t refute that.
Christine continued, “I’ll find a teacher to teach you etiquette. I don’t wanna see you embarrass our Levine family at the banquet in two days. You hear me?”
“Whatever. You’re my mom.” Sephora deliberately emphasized the word “mom”.
With that, she turned back to her room
The maids, who had watched this farce, began to discuss in whispers.
“Ms. Sephora is really arrogant!”
“Well, she is. But I’m not surprised, actually. She grew up in the countryside. Unruly, you know?”
The maids‘ discussion made Christine feel very embarrassed, so she chose to vent her anger on these annoying gossipers.
“Shut up! You’ve got nothing else to do?”
Hearing Christine’s angry shout, none of the maids dared to stay here anymore, and they quickly found excuses to leave.
Bridgette was very satisfied with Christine’s attitude towards Sephora, and a faint smile appeared on her face. When she heard the maids‘ comments about Sephora, she was even more pleased.
Chapter 20 A Slap
Seeing those maids all leave, Bridgette immediately put on a pitiful face and said to Christine, “Mom, don’t be mad at Sephora. Maybe it was really my fault, and that’s why she got so angry.”
Seeing Bridgette’s pitiful look, Christine felt even more sorry for her.
She sighed, “Well, Bridie, if your sister could be as half considerate as you, I wouldn’t be so mad. Come along, I’ll get your ointment.”
“OK.” Bridgette nodded obediently.
On the other hand, in the room, Sephora wasn’t sad or angry about Christine’s punishment for her. Instead, she felt so good to have slapped Bridgette just now. That was a hard one. It would definitely take a few days for that swelling on Bridgette’s face to disappear.
Just thinking about Bridgette’s painful and angry expression made Sephora wanna laugh. Bridgette was a bitch, and Sephora had wanted. to slap her for a long time.
Although the cost of it was for her to be grounded, Sephora didn’t think it was a big deal. Anyway, besides attending chess classes and racing at Austin Plaza, she didn’t usually go out.
Besides, she could always find a way to go out if she wanted to.
But for now, the most troublesome thing for her was the coming etiquette classes.
After all, Christine had talked about this a long time ago. Now that Sephora hit Bridgette just now, Christine would definitely find a teacher to teach Sephora etiquette tomorrow.
Back then, when Sephora was still in the Garcia family, she was so carefree and could do whatever she wanted. No one there had ever
Chapter 20 & Stap
asked her to learn some etiquette.
